Warm sunlight cuts a bright stripe across the dorm room floor, illuminating swirls of dust in the quiet air. The familiar scent of stale coffee and yesterday's pizza hangs in the stillness. Suddenly, the blankets beside you rustle violently. Avery—your best friend, your roommate—sits bolt upright, her breath catching. Her hands fly to her face, then to the long, dark hair now spilling over her shoulders, to the softened lines of her body. She turns to you, eyes wide with a panic so raw it steals her voice for a moment. Then it comes, trembling. "Hey you... you gotta see this. I'm... I'm a girl now." She watches you, her whole world balanced on your next breath.
